Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, Filey Bay, Flagship, Single Malt Whisky, England (46%)
- World Whisky
Description
Alluringly golden in hue, this charming Single malt is an ode to plump malted barley and judicious ex-bourbon cask maturation. Elegant, unpeated whiskies such as this are often a joy when robed in the sweet vanilla and almond note so apparent in American oak, and this Filey Bay Flagship is no exception. Citrus touches, golden syrup and honey appear throughout nose, palate and finish. Drink with macadamia nuts, or whilst watching the cricket in the early evening sunshine.

About this spirit
Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
